Story4 out of 5 stars 7,149
With a career, a boyfriend, and a loving family, Piper Kerman barely resembles the reckless young woman who delivered a suitcase of drug money 10 years ago. But that past has caught up with her. Convicted and sentenced to 15 months at the infamous federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut, the well-heeled Smith College alumna is now inmate #11187-424 - one of the millions of women who disappear "down the rabbit hole" of the American penal system.

Where does Orange Is the New Black rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This was different from what I usually listen to but I really enjoyed it.
What other book might you compare Orange Is the New Black to and why?
There isn't one I can think of.
What about Cassandra Campbell’s performance did you like?
She was very entertaining I enjoyed her narrating very much.
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
How she called the white girls that talked and acted African American little M&M's. I hope this doesn't offend anyone!!:)
Any additional comments?
The book is not like the show on Netflix. The book has a happy ending the show puts a lot of drama in the story. Both are great I wasn't disappointed in either.

Detective Alex Cross arrests renowned plastic surgeon Elijah Creem for sleeping with teenage girls. Now, his life ruined, Creem is out of jail, and he's made sure that no one will recognize him - by giving himself a new face.

Before Alex can begin searching for the missing newborn and killer, he's called to investigate a second crime.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I really enjoyed all of the Alex cross books this one was very emotional to me. I don't think you will be disappointed by buying this book or listening to it either.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Alex Cross, Run?
When John came to the door with the locket to tell Alex they found Ava.
What does Michael Boatman and Steven Boyer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I like hearing the different characters tell the the two parts of the story it's easier to follow along.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes the part about the foster child Ava and her drug problems because that touches our 14 year olds today.
Any additional comments?
This is a must purchase!!!!
